Health Care’s Top Challenges

Disruptive Care Options

How might we create an innovative and seamless experience for our customers across disparate activities, proactively engaging them throughout the care continuum?

Alliances

When two or more companies form a strategic alliance, each company’s performance is amplified.

The collective strength of an ideal alliance allows each party to bring specialized skills, technologies and resources to the table that each would not readily have on their own. This creates new relationships to transform the future of health care together.

We believe in the power of partnerships and innovation. Without innovation, nothing changes and there is no measurable growth. Offering the most cost effective, advanced technologies, processes and treatments allows us to focus on the most important aspect of health care today: caring for others with compassion and dignity.

Innovation Ecosystem

We offer a wide spectrum of powerfully aligned resources to accelerate your time to market.

Florida Hospital has established a unique ecosystem to drive innovation consisting of a team Florida Hospital leaders dedicated to simplifying health-care innovation. A team strategically created to provide direction and support along the alliance cycle by working with our partners to determine the best plan of action, synchronize opportunities, knock down barriers and create new value for Florida Hospital customers.

Florida Hospital Innovation Lab

A vital center of innovation that uses design thinking to solve the most pressing health-care challenges.

Florida Hospital Innovation Lab

The Florida Hospital Innovation Lab (FHIL) is an
embodiment of our co-creative approach in action.
With design thinking at its core, FHIL is an
incubator of ideas where some of the biggest
challenges we face within the delivery of health
care are solved. Teams of doctors, nurses, directors
and administrators – as well as anyone who has an
idea of how to improve the services we provide –
work together toward the improvement of patient care.

The Innovation Lab’s creative space and collaborative
atmosphere galvanize the thought processes of each
team for the task at hand. This is where we work with
collaborators to improve critical aspects of health
care gathering empathy from end-users, co-developing
products, developing use cases and much, much more.
There’s no limit to what we can accomplish here.

InnovatOR

Florida Hospital’s InnovatOR (IOR) Suite is one of the world’s most technologically advanced operating rooms, and it’s a centerpiece of the Neuroscience Institute at Florida Hospital Orlando. Its purpose is twofold – to provide the region’s best clinical setting for interventional neurosurgeries, and to serve as the perfect place for pioneering minds and partnering organizations to innovate and unlock the mysteries of the human brain.

The IOR is made up of two operating suites featuring an exceptionally powerful and precise 18,000-pound MRI that travels between rooms to provide real-time imaging of surgery-in-progress. Thanks to this new technology, patients no longer have to be transported to a different area for post-surgery scanning. A surgeon can check for any issues while the patient is still on the operating table, dramatically reducing both the chance of infection and the need for additional surgeries.

Center for Innovative Patient Care

Florida Hospital Center for Innovative Patient Care (CIPC) is a living laboratory in a patient environment allowing for real-time research and development to offer the very best for our patients and their loved ones. Bringing together advanced technologies and systems to deliver better health care and improve outcomes, this powerful platform supports devices that better monitor and respond to caregiver and patient needs. Projects include workforce flow analysis, the use of lighting to reduce patient falls and the use of RFID to track hand hygiene.

Many of these unique methods and devices have been developed through our collaborative partnerships. The concept stage is the ideal time to connect with us. Joint collaboration is crucial to advancing the development and delivery of new products and research opportunities. This is your opportunity to partner with us today to improve patient care with the leaders in innovation to improve health-care access, reduce costs and provide better care.

Institute for Surgical Advancement Prototype Lab

The Institute for Surgical Advancement (ISA) Prototype Lab is a creative space for physicians, researchers, engineers and other health-care professionals to bring their ideas for development of medical equipment to life. The members of the ISA Prototype Lab team serve as assistants in making those medical device concepts a reality. They use the latest technology, such as 3-D printers, to help inventors develop, test and refine their latest ideas to improve clinical techniques and outcomes.

Research & Development Center

A unique workspace, thoughtfully designed to promote collaboration among thought leaders.

Research & Development Center

What if your company was located among medical research experts? What if talking to a world leader in medicine was as easy as walking across the hall? What if each of your top thinkers spent their days among other top thinkers? That’s what our Research & Development Center is all about.

It’s 150,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed health-care office space, strategically arranged to promote collaboration among the very best in their fields.

Featuring two locations onsite at hospitals in Celebration and Orlando, life-saving surgery can be studied in the OR and practiced in the lab. In addition, the Nicholson Center specializes in both in person and online CME education and broadcasting. Offering the opportunity to stream educational events — or live surgeries anywhere in the world — to a global online audience.

The Nicholson Center trains more than 15,000 clinical learners each year on the most advanced clinical techniques. The Center is growing the next worldwide generation of clinical knowledge, technology and medical treatments. Both locations provide a safe training environment for the first performance tests of devices developed in the Institute for Surgical Advancement Prototype Lab.

Big Data

Real-time patient data from one of the largest hospital systems in the United States located in a city with a ideal population to test national rollouts.

Big Data

Anchored by the huge patient population of Florida Hospital, we can offer one-of-a-kind access to real-time patient data across the continuum of care. Since Orlando’s demographics mirror the larger U.S. population, we are a great “test tube” location for any national roll-out. As the largest Medicare provider in the United States, we also offer a unique senior population which often means multiple diagnoses, creating an excellent test group for clinical trials. The Orlando population is ahead of the curve in the “Florida-nation of the Globe,” providing vital, real-world data and statistics to the rest of the world.

Our Data team systematically integrates and makes sense of the data we collect and analyze to accelerate reporting.
